See Adorable New Pictures of Prince George and Princess Charlotte on Skiing Break

With his rosy red cheeks and excitement in his eyes, Prince George looks like he is ready for action while his little sister Princess Charlotte is in awe of the fluffy snow on their first skiing vacation.

The little royals – George, 2, and Charlotte, 10 months – were taken on a short break to the snowy French Alps last week – and their parents released these cute new pictures when they returned.

In the intimate shots, parents Prince William, 33, and Princess Kate, 34, showed their competitive spirit, as they teased each other with a snowball fight for the cameras.

It is the first time they have been on a family vacation abroad and it was “the first time the children had played in snow like that before,” says a royal source. “It was a lovely moment for them as a family. They had a lovely time.”
